Cardboard cereal boxes – 1 piece 6-¾” x 6-¾” for the board and nine (9) pieces 2” x 2” for the squares
Glue (I’ve used Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue)
Magnets (I’ve used the self adhesive magnet tape ½” wide and cut ½” pieces) you will need nine (9) cut pieces ½” x ½”
Metal washers approximately 5/8” diameter- you need 10
Plastic water bottle caps – 10 for the playing pieces
Items to go into bottle caps/playing pieces – You will need 10 items (two sets – 5 each item or color -example 5 green buttons, 5 red buttons)

You will be using the back side or non color side of the 6-¾” x 6-¾” board |

Glue the 9 – 2” x 2” pieces onto the board, evenly spacing each onto thisbackground.
Place a piece of the self adhesive magnet into the center of each 2” square on the board. |

The top part of the plastic water bottle cap will be the bottom of eachplaying piece. Using a small amount of glue, glue a metal washer to the flat
part of each plastic water bottle lid. Let glue dry. |

Choose which item you will use in the center of each cap to create the ‘o’or the ‘x’. You will need 5 of each. It can be from suggestions above.
